The structure of the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(20)H(19)O(2)P)(2)], shows a square-planar geometry for the Pd(II) ion within a Cl(2)PdPPh(PhOMe)(2) ligand set. The Pd(II) atom sits on an inversion centre and therefore the asymmetric unit contains the Pd(II) atom, one Cl atom and one bis-(2-methoxy-phen-yl)phenyl-phosphine ligand. The trans arrangement of ligands is also imposed by symmetry.
